Well now. Its about damn time! This is a top note on Drudge right now, no other details...

Wouldn't it be just fantastic to have Ad's on tv with the dialogue: "Hillary, during your husband's Administration (insert any of the following: Use of IRS to harass opponents, Not screening White House Staffers with the FBI, Travel-gate, warrentless wire tapping ECT. you get the idea), will these continue to to be your priorities or are you going to stick with the false line you have been feeding America about your REAL record?" Or something along that line. You can't make this stuff up folks and the GOP so far hasn't used an IOTA yet.

Oh its a target rich environment don't you think?

From the link that’s up now:

“Republicans plan to seize on an allegation from the 1992 presidential campaign to tarnish Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) on the red-hot issue of government surveillance.

Government surveillance will be at the forefront of the political debate this fall as congressional Democrats and President Bush square off over legislation allowing electronic spying on U.S. soil without a warrant.

Republicans are focusing on an allegation in a recent book by two Pulitzer Prize-winning reporters, which suggests Clinton listened to a secretly recorded conversation between political opponents.

In their book about Clinton’s rise to power, Her Way, Don Van Natta Jr., an investigative reporter at The New York Times, and Jeff Gerth, who spent 30 years as an investigative reporter at the paper, wrote: “Hillary’s defense activities ranged from the inspirational to the microscopic to the down and dirty. ...”

Whole lotta nuttin. The Left has been snooping on GOP phone calls for years, and even when they get caught nothing happens to them.

Speaker Phone (Gingrich Cell Phone conversation "accidental recording.")

Time for the RNC to grow some stones, and immediately begin running campaign ads declaring that Hillary refuses to allow the US Government to wiretap terror operatives in the US -— YET she demands that exact same right for herself and husband in order to slither into elected office.

But the RNC has left their stone-growing ability in that lockbox Rush always talks about — stored safely inbetween the bulging thighs of Hellery.

Back at that time it took sophisticated and expensive gear to listen into Cell phones! And it wasn’t easy to get technology then either! Yea, it stinks boys! It took a deliberate effort, no way you can pass that off as “Accidental”. Uhhh huaa, no way that was accidental, wonder if Government resources were used to make those recordings??? hummmmmm things that make you go Hummmmmmmmm...

Come to think of it, 1992 ... Wasn’t Bill still the Governor of Arkansas? Would he have had State Resources used to do the surveillance?

hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......

Actually, back at that time cell phones used analog FM transmission and could be picked up by any scanner. So the FCC banned any scanners capable of receiving cell phone frequencies. The Martins were driving around south Florida not only with a cassette recorder, but it was connected to an illegally modified scanner (usually took nothing more than snipping the lead from a diode to modify them back then.)

Yet they maintained that they recognized Gingrich's voice and recorded it because "[w]e're going to have a grandson at the end of January, and we were thinking how neat it would be to play this tape for him and him hear the voices of people that we thought were important. That's really all it was going to be is a little tape we put aside and when he was old enough to hear it, he could hear it."

There is another aspect to this. How is she going to secure the woman’s vote if this becomes common knowledge? It will be obvious that she not only knew about Bill’s women but her main concern with his women was trashing them - so it wouldn’t interfere with her political ambitions. NOT a member of the sisterhood!

Yawn. Republicrat politicians are peas in a pod. All of them, except Ron Paul, hate liberty.
